That's me.. a pic of my poor ankle. I was at Esther's place for the ice cream workshop this morning. I had to leave earlier for my drum lesson at 12.30. But in my rush, I missed a step at her front door and landed badly two steps down. Sprained my left ankle. Careless me!

Luckily I'm driving an auto. Else I really don't know how I'm going to get out of the place. It was painful, no doubt. But I wasn't too bothered by the sprain since I was still able to walk.

The pain got worse in the afternoon and there was swelling around the ankle and I could see a patch of bruise formed above the ankle area.

I still made it to Akie's guitar lesson. But by the end of his lesson, the pain was really bad and I could barely walk. I couldn't rest my weight on the left leg.

So after dinner, Hubs took me to the nearby hospital, TTSH. He dropped me off at the A&E and went off to park the car.

This is my first visit to an A&E. Not sure what I was supposed to do. I limped towards the registration counter and was immediately greeted by a staff. They were rather efficient and within minutes I was already outside the X-ray room in a wheelchair. I had no chance even to call Hubs coz telco service was cut off near the X-ray room. Hubs finally located me and was complaining about the security refusing him entrance. He didn't realise he had to go through a temperature scan before he could enter the A&E area.

Well lucky for me. No fracture. Just swelling in the ligament.

I never been on a wheelchair before. And I had a bit of fun maneuvering the thing while waiting to collect my medication. Hmm.. i was given Anerax..that's paracetamol..guess my case wasn't serious enough to warrant something stronger.

It was a bit of a challenge going up the stairs in our home. Told Hubs we definitely have to move out when we grow older. There are just too many steps in the house. Not senior-citizen-friendly or handicapped-friendly at all!
